Definitions
- the invention relates to wrist pads, in particular for use by data entry personnel and others who spend long periods using keyboards and computer mice.
- the goal of wrist pads and related devices is the prevention of repetitive motion injuries.
- the invention is a wrist pad having a pad extension.
- the pad extension of the present invention prevents the user's wrist from flexing downward during use, reducing wrist strain and improving comfort to the user.
- the prior art above does not teach multiple layers of cushioning materials and a massaging vibrator, which extend into the palm area of the hand. None of the prior art addresses a unique feature of the present invention, which is the presence of motor-driven vibrators in the wrist pad to massage the wrist and lower palm.
- the present invention contains features that, when combined, provide more relief to the hand of an operator than any of the prior art devices described above.
- the foam pad conforms slightly and provides some cushioning to the wrist, while the gel pad provides further protection by adding more cushioning and yield.
- the vibrations emanating through the pads massage tired muscles, but the wrist is still supported in a way that is natural to the shape and movement of the hand.
- this invention is described primarily for users operating a computer keyboard or mouse, it can also be used in other applications, such as but not limited to, use of a manual typewriter, while driving a car with hands resting on the steering wheel, when knitting or crocheting, or for any type of work or hobby where the hand or wrists are strained, held in the same position for periods of time, or are engaged in repetitive motions, or just to massage a hand or wrist after activity of any kind or for any reason at all.

- multiple padding serves to protect the users hand and or wrist in the event that the
- the wrist pad 100 may be formed as a single piece in the preferred embodiment. Alternatively, it is possible that the wrist pad 100 might be formed as multiple pieces.
- the preferred embodiment may consist of a bottom canvas cover 400, plastic support 500, cotton pad 600, vibrating mechanism 700, gel pad 800, foam pad 900, top canvas cover 1000 right wrist strap 1100 and left wrist strap 1200.
- the plastic support 500 may be fastened to the bottom canvas cover 400 in any way, including but not limited to gluing, or sewing. Additionally, the plastic support 500 could be constructed with small holes so it could be more readily fastened to bottom canvas cover 400.
- the plastic support could be replaced by a support made of other materials, including but not limited to, metal or wood.
- Plastic support 500 supports wrist pad extension 300, and may be shaped in any manner that gives additional support to the user's wrist. Any of the components shown in Fig. 7 can be made from any of the materials described above.
- Vibrating mechanism 700 may be one or more vibrating coin motors fastened into the cotton pad 600 by methods such as, but not limited to, sewing or gluing. Also other kinds of vibrating mechanisms could be used in place of vibrating coin motors, such as but not limited to miniature vibrating cylinder motors. Wires 720 may be connected to the vibrating coin motors 700 and lead to the on/off switch 740 and then onto the batteries 740, which may be affixed to the right wrist strap 1100. Alternatively the vibrating mechanism power source and switch could be completely contained in the wrist pad 100. Other alternative arrangements for powering the vibrating coin motors 700 are possible, such as but not limited to rechargeable and solar powered units. Preferably, the unit is rechargeable and economical for the user. The rechargeable unit would have a LED light to indicate when the unit is fully charged and an automatic charge shut off. This will avoid overcharging and increase the batteries life.
- the bottom canvas cover 400, cotton pad 600, gel pad 800, foam pad 900, and top cover 1000 may be fastened together along their matching perimeters or at any place in their bodies by methods such as, but not limited to, gluing or sewing.
- the layers may be joined together in such a way as to allow for wires to emerge from the wrist pad.
- the right wrist strap 1100 and the left wrist strap 1200 may be made of rectangular pieces of elastic. Other materials that could be used for the right wrist strap 1100 and the left wrist strap 1200 include but are not limited to, fabrics such as leather, cotton, or nylon., or other materials such as but not limited to paper, plastic, metals, fiberglass, or wood.
- the right wrist strap 1100 has a right bottom surface 1120 and a right top surface 1140.
- the left wrist strap 1200 has a left bottom surface 1220 and a left top surface 1240 Hook and loop fasteners may be attached to the right top surface 1140 and a left bottom surface 1220 forming closing and adjustment mechanism for the wrist straps. Other kinds closing and adjustment mechanisms include but are not limited to belt buckles, snaps, buttons, and slip buckles. Devices for containing batteries may be attached to the right wrist strap 1200 to power a vibrating mechanism.
- the right wrist strap 1100 and the left wrist strap 1200 may be fastened to wrist pad 100 by methods including but not limited to gluing or sewing.
- FIG. 4 A wide variety of shapes can be accommodated by this specification. Compare Fig. 4 to Fig 7 .
- the pad base 200 is almost rectangular as compared to the more rounded shape of the pad base 200 in Fig. 7 .
- the pad extension 300 had a complex curvature as compared to the simple curvature of the pad extension 300 in Fig. 7 .
- the strap is basically a metal band which is curved a certain way so when it is bent it will coil and wrap itself around the user's wrist.
- the slap bracelet has an outer silicone rubber coating to provide comfort. This silicone rubber coating also would allow for the co-molding of the wrist pad and bracelet into one piece as opposed to the mockup sample in the pictures that is two pieces joined together.
- the gel wrist pad is attached to the slap bracelet through a backing which acts like a belt buckle and the slap bracelet is inserted into this opening and it allows the wrist pad to slide side to side on the bracelet so the user can position it where they want it.
- a backing which acts like a belt buckle and the slap bracelet is inserted into this opening and it allows the wrist pad to slide side to side on the bracelet so the user can position it where they want it.
- Something unique about the backing is that it is made of a special material which allows it to easily glide on just about any surface.
